Here the sleeping rooms for hundred poor chicken which made they last journey on the war vessel St Philippe :
French war-ship Saint-Philippe 1693 - scale 1/72 - from Lemineur monograph [COMPLETED BUILD]
The Admiral liked to eat every morning three sunny-side-up eggs - so some of the chicken survived (sometimes)
CRI-CRI, I agree with dThomas, the 1st version has more detail on the guard rail and is not "washed" out. The stairs without the outside framing looks unfinished. Your attention to detail is to be commended! Magic Mike

Here is a beautiful model.
If I may say so, I find your rear lights a little below the rest in terms of quality. They are very visible. Maybe just redo the alignment of the little crossbars.
But congratulations again for this harmonious model.

And the two simili fore-mast's partners (not glued) :
It may be effectively possible to improve the drawing of these lanterns, I've just started a new model (right side) :
Next step of built, three small ships (I saw three ships come sailing in, in the morning, etc. 
) :
The ships of the carol ar'nt like our ships, they were... three camels of Mage-kings who came on Christmas day :

Preparing the longboat of ship, the largest of three, with two canots (one small and one great) and this one :
Looking good.
Due to the fact, that this ring should immitate several separate wedges, which were used to fix the mast against the partners.
I made once the wedges out of several pieces (on my Bonhomme Richard)
but it can be also immitated with simple slight cuts with a knife into the ring
Normally there is a waterproof canvas that covers the stanchion to ensure water tightness
But, your suggestion is right also
Thanks

Preparing the longboat (nothing glued, except back stern) :
Next step of longboat's built by planking first using my patented removable and solid skeleton :
The first step of longboat's planking , four strikes about twenty-six, to be patient is very highly necessary :
The longboat will contain the two other canots, and will built without any one of it's eleven rowing-thwarts...

Last news of shipyard : I decided to use a balsa frame for the boat's built, my first idea was impossible (no place for insert clamps) 
Following work on balsa frame, the walnut is a more difficult material than the white woods :
Compared with the english longboats, this French rowboat has a flat bottom and a shallow draft,
easier to move when rowing, but holds up less well in bad weather or navigation under wind sail

I remade the decoration of the quarter guard-rail, using a classical well known object of the Louis XIV style :
